Just installed Artful x86 on USB-flash. Without xhost commands Synaptic does not start with $ synaptic-pkexec No protocol specified Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
(synaptic:1688): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0 After setting xhost Synaptic starts. Gparted and backintime (see 1713313) may be fixed with xhost command. As I predict zenmap (as root) and other at least 18 applications too (see bug 1713311). They use su-to-root from menu package. Setting "xhost +si:localuser:root" does not help for them (produce another messages: in console "Error copying '/home/artful/.Xauthority' to '/tmp/libgksu-VXhFz5': No such file or directory " and window with "Failed to run zenmap as user root. Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file."). I'm not an expert, but it seems that `su-to-root` must be changed to `pkexec` anywhere to lower user disappointment. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1712089 Title: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyUnable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/1712089/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
